Jan. 6, 8:45 a.m.: Let’s get back to one of my favorite hobbies: ripping the polls. When I took part of the NCAA’s mock selection committee in Indianapolis last year, one of the things we often did when comparing two teams was to cover the names of the schools with a piece of paper. It just helps committee members avoid being swayed by preconceived notions and it boils the evaluation down to pure numbers. Who’d you play? Who’d you beat? So let’s compare the mid-season profiles of two schools without showing their names right now. Tell me which team is deserving of a better NCAA tournament seed. The result may surprise you.
